What defines 'Retail development'? Probable large size of development to meet planning criteria.? Inappropriate use of greenfield land; danger of planning creep endangering the separation of Langham and its village identity from Oakham. Outlets onto to busy road used for walking /cycling access to Langham School. and/or onto busy bypass. More suitable, more easily accessible alternatives available elsewhere in Oakham and its business parks.

Strong; objection to the expansion of this or any other site between Oakham/Barleythorpe and Langham which would further endanger the separation of Langham from Oakham and its ability to remain a village with its own identity, rather than a suburb of Oakham. Langham alreadly provides a good proportion of the accommodation required for gypsies and travellers.

We are concerned about the presumption of permission for land based solar energy installations. Planning permission has already been granted for a solar energy farm in Langham, which makes a strong contribution towards the Government's targets.

Policy seems to make a presumption in favour of development (what 'New development' is like to protect and enhance irreplaceable habitats?). For clarity, and to avoid ambiguity, it should clearly state a presumption against development.
